Intergenerational Service-Learning: A Review of Recent Literature and Directions for the Future
Roodin, Paul; Brown, Laura Hess; Shedlock, Dorothy
Gerontology & Geriatrics Education, v34 n1 p3-25 2013
This review examines recent studies that have addressed outcomes of intergenerational service-learning courses in gerontology. The history of service-learning pedagogy in higher education and its place in today's colleges is also reviewed. Particular attention is given to evaluations of stakeholders: students, older adult participants, agencies and staff, faculty, community residents, colleges, and the community itself. The need for adopting research designs that permit clear conclusions and for utilizing assessments that have psychometrically sound foundations is important in future studies to permit unambiguous comparisons from study to study. The value of the pedagogy for students in particular has been documented over a number of years. Equally important is today's need to assess the impact of the pedagogy on the community.
